     @XOrgFoundation the relaxed tone of this thread actually made me check the blue checkmark on this account... I like the recursive acronym idea, but I'm a traditionalist...

     What about "XORG is Only a Retronym for the Graphics and interoperability foundation", or XORG for short ;)

     I think that you should name it "Y11" and use the slogan "it's a whole new dimension."

     @llewelly Or hear me out, we could rename X11 to Natick. It's not too late. I think @krh was really onto something with the whole "name important software after obscure Massachusetts suburbs" idea!

     @XOrgFoundation rename wayland as x12. Why that wasn't done earlier, I don't know, but it's not too late.
